Susana Pearl, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Registered Psychologist

Change is a part of life, and sometimes these changes, whether they are positive, such as the birth of a baby or a wedding, or difficult, such as suffering a loss or the end of a relationship, can be difficult to manage on your own. I am here to provide you with support as you travel through your journey.

As a psychologist, I consider my role to be one to help people walk through the challenging times in their life. I provide support and guidance for people as they strive to overcome the hurdles, struggles and stressors they are faced with. My aim is to foster growth and healing within you, allowing you to achieve and move in the direction you are striving for, resulting in greater feelings of empowerment and fulfillment.

I completed my education at the University of Toronto, which includes a Master of Science degree, a Master of Education degree, and a PhD in Psychology. My PhD thesis was in the area of children and parents of separation and divorce. I provide counselling on an individual basis, as well as couples counselling and family counselling.

I received training in a number of different theoretical orientations, and I would describe my approach as eclectic: client-centred, drawing upon family systems theory, attachment theory, CBT, as well as emotion-focused therapy and narrative therapy, as needed to best suit your personal needs.
